Insurance companies show that iPhone users drive harder than Android users

Android OS and iOS have been the two strongest operating systems in the smartphone market for a long time, and the share of the web analytics service Statcounter is 71.6% for Android OS and 27.68%

for iOS. A new study analyzing the relationship between these two operating systems and driving habits reveals that iOS smartphones, or iPhone users, have lower driving level scores than Android users.

Jerry, an insurance company with services throughout the United States, analyzes 20,000 driving records recorded over 14 days. From the record of 13 million kilometers, we calculated scores such as speed, braking frequency, turning, and caution.

As a result, it was found that Android users outperform iPhone users in all driving suitability. The following are the appropriate scores, from left to right: 'Overall', 'Distraction', 'Speed', 'Turning', 'Accelerating', and 'Braking'. The red bar is the Android user and the black bar is the iPhone user.

The biggest difference was 'attention', which is an indicator of how often the driver operates the smartphone while driving, so Jerry said, 'iPhone users look from their smartphones while driving rather than Android users. It seems that I'm not good at releasing it. '

The age group of iPhone users is lower than that of Android users, and young people tend to be willing to take risks, so it is possible that age influences the driving level score. However, Jerry's research shows that Android users have better scores in all age groups, so the influence of age is considered to be weak.

Jerry quoted past research showing that 'Android users are more conscientious than iPhone users ' and ' Android users are more honest and humble than iPhone users ', 'iPhone users show a higher emotional level. This means that the behavior is inconsistent and unpredictable, and that characteristic may lead to behavior that leads to poor scores such as rapid acceleration and braking. '
